It's valid reasoning, but it is not really backed up my package. Here is from the current debian/control for source package r-base (which creates r-base-core, r-base-dev, and a few more): Source: r-base Section: gnu-r Priority: optional Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> Standards-Version: 3.8.4 Build-Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.1.0), g++ (>= 4:4.1.0), gfortran (>= 4:4.1.0), libblas-dev, liblapack-dev (>= 3.1.1), tcl8.5-dev, tk8.5-dev, bison, groff-base, libncurses5-dev, libreadline-dev, debhelper (>= 7.2.3), texi2html, texinfo (>= 4.1-2), libbz2-dev, libpcre3-dev, xdg-utils, zlib1g-dev, libpng12-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libx11-dev, libxt-dev, x11proto-core-dev, libpango1.0-dev, libcairo2-dev, libtiff4-dev, xvfb, xauth, xfonts-base, texlive-base, texlive-latex-base, texlive-generic-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-extra-utils, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, texinfo, texi2html, openjdk-6-jdk [!arm !hppa !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386] Homepage: http://www.r-project.org/ There is no special-casing for mips. Or are you trying to tell me that mips / mipsel have _no tcl/tk_ whatsoever? That can't be, can it?
